Ok, well believe it or not I am not the only one in this house with a food obsession. Chad has a thing for Cadbury eggs. Come to think of it, when I first met him Cadbury eggs were about the only food in his freezer. He had a lot. Apparently, he learned about stocking up from the bears, because he was good to go for the winter.

Now we save freezer space for practical things like bacon and cheese. {{don't judge, hehe}} So when I noticed my big bear stocking up for the winter with his eggs, I decided to create a trifle inspired by his love for Cadbury Eggs.

I started with a layer of my favorite cookie. Well, it’s a trifle of course it's all about what I want. Just kidding, no not really. After the Oreo layer, I decided we needed to mimic the fondant like filling of the Cadbury egg and I knew I was not whipping out the stand mixer for a trifle.

Creating my own homemade marshmallow fluff proved to be fabulously rewarding. All I did was add a little water to the mini marshmallows and microwaved them. Viola, marshmallow fluff! On top of that I added vanilla pudding (which, luckily is yellow). Then a layer of chocolate and more marshmallow fluff. Tada!

My “Ode to the Cadbury Egg, Trifle”. This is one that I knocked out of the park; a fabulous dessert that you are not going to want to share. With a mere 5 ingredients and 10 minutes this trifle can be yours!

Cadbury Egg Inspired Easter Trifle

My “Ode to the Cadbury Egg, Trifle”. This is one that I knocked out of the park; a fabulous dessert that you are not going to want to share. A simple 5 ingredient recipe that is ready in just 10 minutes!

prep time: 10 MINScook time: total time: 10 mins

Ingredients

12 Oreo Cookies (I used Spring variety)

4 cups marshmallows (about 2/3 of a 16-ounce bag)

2 tablespoons water

1 (3.4 ounce) box French vanilla pudding

2 cups cold milk

6 ounces milk chocolate, chopped

Instructions

Pour marshmallows into a large microwave-safe bowl, drizzle water over top. Microwave for 1 minute. Remove and whisk to combine. Set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl combine pudding mix and milk. Beat with a whisk for 2 minutes. Place in refrigerator until ready to use.

Chop Oreo’s and add to the bottom of four trifle dishes. Chop the chocolate and set aside. Add about ¼ cup marshmallow to trifle, over top of Oreo’s. Top marshmallow with pudding.

Add about ½ cup per dish. Sprinkle with chopped chocolate and finish with a dollop of marshmallow.

DONNA'S NOTES:

If you would like some extra color, add a few drops of yellow food coloring to your marshmallow and whip. Then top trifle with yellow marshmallow.

The marshmallow sits on the cookies and separates the pudding so you could make these several days ahead. Just remember that the marshmallow will harden in the fridge so you will want to allow it 30 minutes on the counter to soften a bit. Enjoy!
